Feeling The Heat

"We went through a tumultuous first month — they were pointing fingers at everybody," says Heat coach Erik Spoelstra of the many slings and arrows his players endured this season. "My point to the team was, 'We're in this together. The only way we'll get out of it without embarrassing ourselves is to do it collectively.' "

"Chris Bosh is too soft to be the third wheel of the 'big three.'" — Jason Whitlock, Fox Sports

"I thought he was, I guess, more of a competitor." — Magic GM Otis Smith

"Erik Spoelstra Must go." — Miami New Times

"Eventually these guys that were recruited — Bosh and James — by Pat Riley and Micky Arison, the owner, are going to come in and say, 'We feel you (Riley) can do a better job coaching the team.'" — Lakers coach Phil Jackson
